Famous British poet and critic Samuel Johnson once said - "When one is tired of London, one is tired of life". With that one phrase he captured the spirit of an entire city.

     To experience London fully, try to get lost in its urban environment, among locals dashing around and going about their own business. Londoners are always serious and concentrated on their own business - you are hardly going to draw their attention.

     And becoming part of it is the point of London - the essence of the city - culturally diverse with one third of its residents weren’t born within its boundaries. Yet despite the continual flow of immigrants, London does not lose its quintessentially British core:

- London Eye, the third largest observation wheel in the world is a good start for you to take in the cityscape

- Buckingham Palace, an official residence of the Queen, which can be toured in summer months

- Piccadilly Circus beats all sites by the quantity of photos taken by tourists and a must-see to visit

- Tower of London, possibly the most haunted building in the world and designated as a UNESCO world heritage site

- Trafalgar Square, has recently become pedestrian area right in the center of London

- Westminster Abby, a burial place for the greatest of Britons and a place for royal coronations treasured by UNESCO

     But the sites are just part of what gives London its British flavor, from red-colored double decker buses to strong English tea everything about this city is done with a stamp of British reticence and with regards to traditions.
